Totoro Forest Project

Today is the official announcement of the Totoro Forest Project. It's a fundraising auction to be held at Pixar Animation Studios on September 6th 2008 (tickets will soon be available) featuring original art created by internationally acclaimed artists in the fields of animation, comic books and illustration. The charity was established to raise funds for the Totoro no Furusato Forest Foundation, established by Hayao Miyazaki himself, to ensure the preservation of Sayama forest (aka Totoro Forest) from the threat of urban development.The event is the brainchild of my friends Dice Tsutsumi and Enrico Casarosa and over 200 artists have donated work. It's amazing to see the amount if inspiration people have generated for this cause. The website is now live so check it out. Not only that but a book of all the art will be available at the time of the show, not to mention an exhibit at the Cartoon Art Museum in San Francisco.The artists that were invited to contribute were asked to draw their own inner Totoro.

Haha! This is gorgeous. It almost feels like something out of Disney's "Fantasia." It also reminds me of a fairy tale of a shepherd boy who fell for a girl he saw with her two sisters, bathing in a lake. And in order for him to get her to marry him, he had to steal her clothes.

Your artwork is amazing, as always! Many thanks for sharing - I hope that you will be able to cooperate with our writing services as we are ready to provide you with well-composed articles that will grab attention of your readers!
